Snow Day

Hey Everyone,

We got about 7 inches (as of now - it is still falling) of the white fluffy stuff. As we looked out the window Karen and I knew that today was the perfect day to introduce Matthew to sledding because the flakes were so big (the flakes are usually larger at warmer temps). So we bundled them up (I say we, but Karen did most of that - thanks babe), headed out the door to play in the snow. Rachel loved it! She ran around and started throwing snow balls, that weren't actually snow balls since the snow wasn't wet enough to compact it. But we have about a 10 - 15 degree slope that allows for a decent sledding hill for youngsters.

So check out the video below of the fun, and check out the pics HERE!

Took a Shot (Sorry about the Pun)

From Blog Heads

Well, as you may all know - I love photography; as a hobby at least. After seeing so many wonderful photo shoots by a friend of mine at Kara Pennington Photography, I got inspired. So, I sought out to do a no-kidding photo shoot of my two willing loving children.

Rachel

I took her to 4 or 5 different places in Wasilla, trying to show off the natural beauty of the land and her adorable smiles. She was very excited about the shoot, every time I'd ask her if she wanted me to take pictures she'd say, "Yeth (she has a lisp right now - it's really cute.)" Then we'd stop and look at all of our pics on the camera.

We went to a playground at a local school and took some shots of her - but unfortunately - she fell off the slide, as you can see I got a mid-air shot of her scary ride. She was completely fine - but it scared her enough to have her scream in my arms, so photo shoot was over.

Matthew

We took an easier approach with him since 1 year old toddlers aren't too crazy about sittin' still. We picked a decent afternoon and sat him on a log in the front yard dirt. He was thrilled to play with the leaves and of course, being my son - was not camera shy.
